Sony - Alpha a7 II Full-Frame Mirrorless Video Camera with 28-70mm Lens - Black

I love this thing, super easy to use lens provided is really good all around and phenomenal for a beginner. My only complaint would be how overpriced Sony lenses are but you can get adapters on amazon that give you the option to use whatever lenses you desire.

Sony has pulled out all the stops on their A7 line of mirrorless cameras and the A7II is no exception. They are so far ahead of the game when it comes to these cameras that the other brands haven't even announced a compact mirrorless full frame and Sony has already released 7 of them. The camera has nearly every feature you could want and the customizable buttons are nothing short of wonderful. Yes the lens selection could be better but it continues to grow with exceptional products and you cannot argue that it's only getting better - especially with the introduction of the Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 and the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2. When a company like Zeiss takes the time to put out amazing lenses like these, one should take notice and know that there is a bright future ahead for both the A7 series and the e-mount lens ecosystem. If you're making a switch from canon or Nikon, their are top of the line electronic lens adapters that allow you to keep your current set of glass and if you're in the a-mount family already, the Sony adapters are awesome - especially with the most recent firmware update which enhances the autofocus via the adapters to nearly native response times. Sony is just getting started with full frame mirrorless cameras and I'm very proud to be an owner of their A7II after owning the NEX-5N for years prior!

To start this camera came out in 2014, I bought it in 2023. I think it is amazing. It has seriously set my heart ablaze and my eye ready to capture. The quality is really awesome as most photos I take I feel I don’t even need to edit. Though this camera has four main things that are draw backs to me. The four things are: 1st, the battery life is pretty limiting, I would strongly suggest getting extra batteries as I feel it would not survive a full day of use. 2nd, the view finder is quite pixelated, this part alone has made me consider returning the camera as I enjoy shooting my photos with the view finder. However the LCD, screen is quite nice. 3rd, the LCD screen it’s awesome but I really wish it could pop out and be covered, swing side and flip around. This screen only pops out and not by much. 4th, it uses micro usb….. honestly if you have extra batteries you likely won’t care as your likely also using a wall plug to charge, however if you buy the camera and that’s it; you will be stuck with the micro usb….. All in all great camera just has a few drawbacks that in my eyes made me consider returning though I have kept it.

I love my camera so far! It came with the camera body, the lense, the lense covers, and a strap which I feel like is great for the price I got it at! The shipping was also a week faster than expected which was also great news!

Have had the camera for two years and have been able to capture some great moments with great quality of a photo. Carry the camera around while roaming and have been able to get the great candid shots! Still have much to learn and glad to have this as my biginner camera.

I read somewhere that it doesn’t matter what you use. As long as the camera you have encourages you to get out and photograph, it’s a good camera! THIS is that camera for me. I was a previous Canon user, but seriously... this camera is a GAMECHANGER! I still will need some time to figure out the workings because the layout is very very different, but it’s so worth it. Super solid quality through and through! The battery isn’t as good as my canon, but it is no worries. I’ll just save for the battery extension. I look forward to the many shoots to come with my new Sony :)

Went from a DSLR to this mirrorless camera and it has been the absolute best decision ever! Picture are so smooth and clean and the camera is so easy to use as well. I’m not sure if I could ever go back to a dslr. This mirrorless is so lightweight and easy to carry around as well!

The A7 ii is an intelligent purchase for the person who wants a camera to shoot professional quality images. The A7 Is the industry standard for knowledgeable photographers who want to spend their money intelligently.The A7ii is the best choice, all practical things considered.
